unless and until the complete route,consing environment& the container receiving are free of any salts or ionic contaminants.
It may be called fairly low T.D.S.& electrolyte containing water
(as it is from water vapors re-condensation; but not absolutely ion-free)

The cooling coil itself has impurities on it and the water runs down the surface of it to the pan or drain. Also, the condensed water has the return air blowing across it, which also adds unknown contaminants. Finally, the pan it falls into before hitting the drain is often a very dirty thing. Mold, dust, and the precipitates from a long duration of dripping water. Many of those precipitates are salty.
It is still very clean stuff, but I wouldn't drink it.

Note the air filter, the ozone disinfectant, and the effluent filter. You will also have to disinfect the water (risk of legionella) and it will contain any other air polllutants as well.
It hardly seems like it is worth the hassle to try to do this. Distilled water is very inexpensive.
